Latest Development News for Dune: Awakening
New Release Date: June 10
As Dune: Awakening approaches its highly anticipated release, developer Funcom has announced a strategic delay to refine gameplay. On April 15, the studio revealed via Twitter/X that the launch window would extend by three weeks.
Originally scheduled for May 20, the game will now debut June 5 for Deluxe Edition owners, with global access following on June 10. This decision stems from valuable player insights gathered during the Persistent Closed Beta, prompting additional development time.
